Safety - MEDICA THERA-vital Gebrauchsanweisung

Safety

Before using THERA-vital the first time or
after a long transport please leave the de-
vice for around one hour at room tempera-
ture.
Make sure THERA-vital is put on an even
and anti-slip ground, so that the best possi-
ble stability is guaranteed.
THERA-vital may only be used with the line
voltage shown on the data plate. Please
only plug the device into a proper grounded
plug box.
Set up the power cable in a way that nobody
can stumble and that no damages can be
caused by other devices. Do not use the
THERA-vital, if you notice any defects in the
power cable. Do always use original power
cables.
THERA-vital must not be used in wet,
damp or very hot areas in order to prevent
electric shock.
Take out the power plug in any case before
opening the casing.
THERA-vital never can be used without the
casing.
Do not use any solvent-based fluency
when cleaning the device.
The extra use of an anti-slip device for the
wheel-chair is necessary, if the wheel-chair
might slip backwards for very active pa-
tients.

Always train in tight clothes.
Do not get into the rests by putting down
the whole body weight into the foot-rests 5.
Never touch the pedals 6 when the device
is on.
Get instructions from a dealer or your doc-
tor before using the device for the first time.
An upright position is important during the
training. Please seek a doctors advice.
Start with a maximum training time of
15 minutes. You can increase the training
time slowly until you reach the individual
limit of the patient's capacity.
Always start your training with passive ex-
ercise by using motorized power for relax-
ation.
The bigger the distance between THERA-
vital and the seat, the more the knee-,
hip-, and arm-joints will be stretched. So
start your training with a small distance.
Avoid any overstretching of the joints.
Immediately seek doctor's advice, if any
symptoms occur while you train or after the
training.
Please observe training children during the
whole exercise.
Playing children must always be in supervi-
sion.

sounds or smells, please stop the training
immediately, plug out the power cable and

Before using the device for the first time get

tions (see page 35, „Number of revolu-
tions").
